My Beautiful Suicide

My Beautiful Suicide Series, Volume 1

By: Atty Eve

Narrated by: Michelle Sparks

Suicide is selfish.

It tells the world that you are weak. It tells the world your family and friends have failed. It leaves them with guilt that they could have done more but didn't. It tells them they are clueless and helpless.

I am weak, but I am not selfish.

My suicide will not leave my family and friends with guilt and shame; it will leave them thankful that they knew me for the short time I was here.” – Cosette Hugo

Her brother died. Her parents divorced. Her high school bully is relentless. Cosette doesn't have a lot to live for, but it isn't until she accidentally kills someone that Cosette makes the decision to take her own life. Unwilling to bring shame to her mom, best friend Mattie, or her boyfriend Chris, Cosette decides the best method of suicide is to become a victim of the local serial killer, The Poser. But every time she goes out to find him she gets attacked; her instincts take over, and she ends up killing her attackers. This quickly leads to unbearable guilt. Desperate to finish this before she gets caught or racks up more victims, Cosette does the unthinkable.

“And when I reach my final goal, to meet my brother in heaven, and we're looking down at my victim in Hell, he will say to me ‘Well done, Cosette. What a Beautiful Suicide.”

Fascinating Perspective with a few surprises

The story point of view makes this particularly intriguing. Cosy is a character you really support from first introduction. Her story is one I would recommend to adults or YA even though I did not classify it in that manner. The teenage situation would make both audiences become fans.

Michelle did a great job with her narration adding that extra layer of emotion which I like with my audiobooks. Though i was not able to listen in one sitting, when I came back to it I was I was immediately immersed back into the story.

Great character development by Atty and I suspect the same will be true with Volume 2. It was easy to relate some of the drama back to young people I know or knew when I was in high school.

The cliffhanger aspect will certainly make me consider Volume 2 when it is released. I think this series will get even stronger over time.

Bring on Volume 2.

WHAT A BEGINNING!

This audio-book grabbed me IMMEDIATELY! I have no idea what is coming next, but I want to run to the author and drag it out of her! Not for the faint of heart, but if you can handle some sensitive subject matters GET THIS AUDIO! Looking forward to the final 2 books in this series!

Starts great then becomes too macabre

I actually was getting a kick from this young “Dexter” who finds herself accidentally thrust into life-or-death situations but when she becomes sexually aroused at the hint of taking lives, even of innocents, she, and the author, lost me.

WOW!!💜

Great story! This book takes you on a fascinating journey that grabs you from the start.
This psychological thriller was full of mystery and suspense and was extremely thought provoking!!
The narration was absolutely amazing! Michelle Sparks nailed each and every character with so much emotion.
This is book 1 in this series and I highly recommend it.
